I was asked to share my New Year’s Eve outfit as it is glam but easy to wear. The top & pants are courtesy of Banana Republic’s great post Christmas sale and the shoes are something I’ve been saving for a special occasion! I love how loose (and forgiving) the top is and the pants are so comfy! We’re going to a house party so that’s why I chose those shoes – there is no way I’d be walking the streets of Seattle in those heels!

What is your New Year’s Eve manicure going to look like? Going for glitter?

Let’s Talk about Sinful‘s deep electric purple Let’s Talk! I instantly fell in love with the color when I saw it. At first I thought it was perfect only for toes (a little bold on the nails for me) but I love it for vacation! It applies evenly and the color is so rich! While it is beautiful on it’s own, it looks like you have a galaxy on your nails when coupled with iridescent glitter!

What’s your favorite fun polish color? Is there one you’ve always wanted to try but have been too afraid to do so?

I have been asked to share what I wear when traveling as it is hard to find clothes that are comfortable, stylish, and can take you from one city to another. I generally opt for the black jeggings and sweater look as it is very comfortable, takes well to layering, and can look good for a dinner out if my bags get lost (which has happened on more than one occasion). I also tend to pile on the jewelry, but I always arrive to the airport sans jewelry; I keep it in a little pouch in my purse so after I go through security it is all in one place.

Below is a representation of what I will be wearing to take me from sunny California to gray Seattle. The only thing missing is my dark grey Banana Republic trench coat!

And don’t judge on the Color Mates… I bought it when I was in a bind: without polish at my boyfriend’s parent’s house for a week and my pedicure was flaking like no other (too brittle of a top coat). I literally took my morning jog to the drug store and this was the only polish they had. Turned out to be a great match!

Merry Christmas!!!! I hope that everyone has had a wonderful month of December and that your holidays are spent with those that you love! And for those of you who love runners, today is the final installment of the 25 Gifts for Runners series I’ve been doing here at Marathon Beauty!

25. Entry to Your Runner’s Dream Race. Why not surprise the runner in your life with an entry to his or her dream race! Does she really want to run Big Sur? How about Chicago? While some of the most sought after are only done by lottery (Nike Women’s Marathon & New York), and you have to qualify for Boston, a runner would love it if you bought them an entry into Rock ‘n’ Roll Los Angeles and then made a fun trip out of it!
